  1. Oh glorious, glorious picture! Snow make the landscape look so beautiful and every year we wish for that elusive white Christmas. The last one I can remember here in Kent was 1977; we also had snow in drifts of 5 feet plus in the January of 1987, but it missed Christmas by a week. Nothing but rain now...sigh...

    Still, I shall keep the romance of the snowy season alive with copious amounts of cotton wool in my window display!

    And the selection of poems, is, as always, impeccable.

  2. A New Theory of Poetry, straight from the Demented Doc . . .

    To write poems about "Snow" it is definitely to your advantage to be called "Robert"!

    There must surely be an Open University Ph.D. in that idea!

  3. And it's a little known fact that Thomas Hardy was known as 'Bob' to his friends.

WV's turned off. Glad to see this is catching on. I don't want my readers to work for nothing for folk whose OCR software doesn't work properly.
